I hope that there will be a tribute concert 4 Prince, like there was 4 David Bowie. God knows he deserves one. Your thoughts on who should perform?..................

The Revolution including Eric Leeds , Atlanta Bliss, Shelia E, Stevie Wonder , Chaka.

I agree with Guitarhero's list and I just want to add this and make my thoughts known --absolutely NOBODY under the age of 40 --I don't care who they are!!!

Believe it or not if Tyka still has her voice Id love to hear her sing for her brother. Hell get Stevie Nicks, The Bangles, Martika all of em to add to the list.

The revolution.

The last BET tribute was HORRIBLE.

Miguel is the only singer fit to cover any Prince song that requires singing in a higher register.

NO YOUNG fake fans like Buno Mars please.

I was thinking about that earlier, but it's still hard to digest that thought. If it happened, it would be cool to see artists like D'angelo and Quest, Meshell, Erykah Badu, Beck, Outkast, Rapheal Saddiq...that would be pretty interesting.

Well thankfully, Sheila E. seems to be the one that will be putting it together, so I'm no longer worried.

Since the drummer has organized all-star concerts for charity, she has been charged with organizing the public musical celebration for Prince.

Although the planning is in the preliminary stages, she’s already looking at the place in Minneapolis with the most purple seats — U.S. Bank Stadium.

It doesn’t open until July 23.

“I know that,” she said, smiling just a little bit.

I don't want a tribute concert with a load of wannabee pop stars singing his songs.

.

I would rather see a concert featuring all of the associated artists singing the songs they created with Prince.

.

There was something similar a few years ago with Revolution and Family members getting together.

.

It certainly would be nice to see The Time and Wendy & Lisa up on stage.

.

Whatever it is, I hope it's not rushed, I hope there's some quality to it & I hope more basses are thumped than Bibles.

I am more concerned about who I DON'T want ruining our Prince music... Sweet Jesus be merciful please NO nikki minaj and other associated so called "musicians" like her... I could not bear it😩 PS No kardashians or associated fools can attend either😬

Why not? Let's have D'Angelo kick Kim Kardashian off the stage!

Haha

Miguel? Shit, please.

The only person really able to do it justice vocally would be D'Angelo. That's if he would be able emotionally.

I can't even comprehend that this is still happening

The Revolution, D'Angelo, The Roots, Lianne La Havas, Beck, Lenny Kravitz, Erykah Badu, St Vincent, Stevie Wonder, George Clinton, Shelia E.... and I'm sure there's plenty more who could do a fitting tribute.

Who would you want singing the final encore... Purple Rain? I cant think of anyone who would do it justice.

And the Original 7 should be there as The Time.

I agree I am not sure I could take it. No one could do justice anyway. I couldn't watch the Springsteen clip either. I have spent time listening to his music on the radio and TV more relishing the fact that there was so much of it on more than anything and behaving like it was just another day... I am not sure I would go but what kind of tribute would be fitting then?

Best male vocalist out there!

I believe Sheila E is going to get it together like the Family Jamm

I am not a big fan of tribute things because it makes me miss then singer too much, take for example the Freddie Mercury Tribute concert - it just made me more depressed even though I admit George Michael did a great job - but overall it is depressing and just reminds me of the loss. And really who can sing like Prince? Just like nobody can sing like Freddie.

the billboard music awards is coming up next month...should there be a tribute 2 prince?

If it's anyone in their 20's or 30's or 40's it has to be people prince respected and admired.

I actually think this can be pulled off very well.

For his bet tribute he hand picked esperanza janelle alicia. He also loves lianna la havas and laura mvula . Kanye, miguel , kendrick lamar...

I think they would be stupid not to do something. But lets not forget, others have passed away too and it wouldnt be fair for Prince to dominate proceedings. Think of the Bowie fans that might want their hero remembered too.

But this can't turn into performances bout the artist. This is about prince.

So beyonce , prince obv liked but don't make it about yourself bey.

This CAN'T be a lady gaga style tribute to bowie. People can't just getinto the service because they famous or popular. So no bieber in the crowd please or anyone else who just wants to be there to be seen.

I hope this is dont in the tasteful way prince would want and be about REAL MUSIC AND REAL MUSICIANS.

I wouldnt mind seeing Alicia Keyes being involved, girl can play great Piano and has great vocals too, plus she has worked with Prince before.

The only one I have major objections with is Lady Gaga.................that Bowie tribute for the Grammys was just embarressing and painful to watch..........cirque du gaga.
